Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Shane, I just have " thunk " myself out of loving food so much. I have found other things that mean a lot more to me than putting food (no matter how good) into my mouth. By the way, I love jalapeno poppers and have found that eating only 3 does not mess me up-and no dip with them. Re: caffeine have to say, this post had me rolling on the floor. I often feel this way, giving up stuff is with out a doubt the hardest part, I love food, love drinks, like soda, though I did switch to diet,. which is an acquired taste. but I often feel like everything I find, that I like that is diet, or what ever, ends up being as bad if not worse then the original, so agreed, why not just say screw it and eat or drink the original, granted, if you give up all, you probably will live, and if not death awaits you sooner, but ya only live once, right? so why not live like you want, then the other part of me, is like well, if you want to live, you will lose the weight, and drop the food and drink. I see why some people, go get an operation that allows them to only eat an ounce of food, they not only lose weight, but they also if diabetic, no longer have to worry, about eating the wrong thing or drinking the wrong thing, because when your stomach is tightened or hell, ripped out,, smiles, you eat one piece, of something, or drink a drop of water or what ever, and you are full, maybe that would be a reasonable, rout, then, I figure to bad I am not to fond of hospitals, otherwise I would go, smiles. so I sit here still, fighting the daemons, that consume my life, like the want to eat pizza pies, milk, bread, cereal, pot pies, and good stuff like that. what do you do. sometimes I wish, I just hated food, then I wouldn't ever have to worry about it. but then, I would never know the sweet sweet feeling of eating a jalapeño popper or 13. only now i have this voice in the back of my head going no no you can't its got breading on it, and then i start to feel so guilty. in the end, it just seems like a fight not to eat, and after all the fighting you die anyway. in short, I have a ton of thoughts and lots of trouble sorting it out, I know what I need to do, and have with some of it, but I truly struggle, on an every day basis. thanks for listening. shane Re: caffeine > > > > > > Good Morning , > > Do you have any thoughts on tea? > > BTW, I drink the coffee for the caffeine alone and actually do not care > > for the taste at all. > > You sure seem to have bounce to the ounce.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 counseling is a great option for compulsive eating. people eat compulsively for emotional reasons. taking a physical approach to curing it, like the stomach surgery, doesn't fix it since it is emotional. I say go for some counseling and find out what it is in your mind/emotions that causes you to eat compulsively and get it fixed emotionally. Just my two beans...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 counseling man. go to a counselor. eating is so heavily an emotional issue. folks want to treat it like it is just a physical issue, get a stomach job and be done with it. Not so. Eating is an emotional part of our makeup. If eating is unbalanced in our life, there is an emotional reason for it for the most part. My wife is a licensed counselor and deals with eating disorders all the time. Folks think an eating disorder is just bulimia or anorexia, not the case. Compulsive over eating, eating fixations, all are there for an emotional reason.
